1869 Gold Dollar, MS68
Elite Top-Graded Survivor
Flawless Frosty Surfaces

1869 G$1 MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. This Superb Gem gold dollar is tied for finest at PCGS with the Duckor example we offered in 2015. It also serves as the main plate coin for PCGS CoinFacts. We believe it is likely the same coin offered as lot 597 in Bowers and Merena's October 2004 Rarities Night sale, which had a small as-made planchet void below the D in DOLLARS, as here. However, the quality of the plated image is not enough to make a conclusive determination. Either way, this example is absolutely incredible with glistening mint frost over flawless orange-gold surfaces. Every element of the design is tack-sharp without a trace of incompleteness. An elite survivor from a small mintage of 5,900 coins. Population: 2 in 68, 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 68, 0 finer (2/22).(Registry values: N1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25D5, PCGS# 7568, Greysheet# 8031)
